When I first made this recipe I found it to be VERY rich. I have since made it again and found that using 1 cup regular mayo and 1 cup low fat mayo works much better. Also, if you are making this for a large group, I would suggest using rotini pasta, cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces and mix everything together.

Greeting from South Bend, Indiana (home of Notre Dame and the Studebaker). My Grandmother got me interested in cooking at a young age. On my own, I would have cooked a lot more, but cooking for one was always such a hassle. Now that I am married, my husband enjoys the home-cooked dishes. Some hobbies of mine include: scrapbooking, photography and many activites outdoors (golfing, camping, hiking and beach volleyball), surfing the internet, and browsing through cookbooks of course!
